We have secured enough Republican votes in the Senate to reopen government.

Our obstacle now is Mitch McConnell, who won’t call the vote for what seems like 2 reasons:

1. He won’t operate independently of Trump
2. He’s putting his own re-election ahead of 800,000 working people https://t.co/ARMePsObUw
